The Morning Newswww.themorningnews.orgBy Whitney A. Reynolds
The site's name is actually a bit of a misnomer; it's updated every weekday morning, but not always with news (though you will find the latest news headlines in the right column).

Highlights are the "advice" column "The Non-Expert" and the multiple "How-To" guides.

Regret the Errorwww.regrettheerror.comBy Kyle Monson
